| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I would disagree with Leotis on this one. Sure, there is some small amount of distortion that tubes MAY add, but it's negligible. You'll see that Kevin Deal highly recommends the Chinook with the Primaluna as a good match. My experience is the ... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? By the way, I don't think Chinook is over the top for your setup. The Primaluna and the Chinook are a fantastic match, and will support what you have as well as many future upgrades. IMO, with these two components, you have a long term system. ... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I have a Primaluna HP Integrated and Revel F208s. I did a big evaluation of phono stages a year ago (over a period of a year), and ended up with the Chinook. I had the PhonoBox DS in the house for evaluation, and this is my first-hand experience... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? @larry sometimes we just trade for something different. Just because I sell a car does not mean that there’s something wrong with it. Same with stereo stuff. I’ve traded, bought and sold plenty of stuff, and never once sold something that was in n... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? The obvious question to me is this. Did the OP disclose that the unit he traded was not working properly? Does anyone else see the irony that after the dealer repaired it, OP wants it back? Is this a case of what goes around comes around? Mayb... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9? @j_damon why? If you can get an ART9 for $500, buy it now! I definitely would! | |
| Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9? Back to the original question... my upgrade path was Blue Point #2, then Ortofon 10x5, then AT ART9. I have been very happy with the ART9 for about a year. So much so, that when time comes to replace it, I will be getting another ART9. It now h... | |
| Wanting to sell speakers but don’t know how to price them...... You can use the blue book, and you can see prices on completed ebay listings. I owned 803s, and kept track of the prices often. I think you'll find the 803s (or 803S) are worth between 2500 and 3000, and the 804s are worth 1700 to 2200. That's ... | |
| Introducing my 2.2 Stereo what do *you* feel is missing in your sound? | |
| Upgrade from my internal Primaluna phono stage... Audio Alchemy PPA-1? What else? I did quite a lot of comparisons last year with phono stages. I have a PL HP Integrated. I definitely agree that a tube phono stage is the way to go. I had a JD9 for quite a while, but ultimately found it to be a little too noisy. I had a ProJ... | |
| Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range. Sorry to pile on here... open ended questions like this will get you dozens of recommendations. But, I did this same research about a year ago, and I ended up with an AT ART9. There's no looking back! I'm very happy with it, and reviews from ot... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Another great band to check out... New Orleans Suspects. Bluesy with a zydeco groove. Kaleidoscoped is available on vinyl. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Great topic! I wish some posters would avoid every possible opportunity to argue, but I guess that is the state of AGon today. Let's keep it focused on the topic - good music.So, I just placed orders for Crack the Sky and moe. Both, thanks to t... | |
